Biography
Frederick was born in 1249, the only son of Margrave Herman VI of Baden and Gertrude of Babenberg, the niece of Duke Frederick II of Austria. He succeeded his father as Margrave of Baden on his death when he was just one year old in 1250, and after 1266 he grew up at Duke Louis II of Bavaria's court. In 1267, he decided to accompany Conradin on his expedition to Italy, and Frederick and Conradin were both captured at the Battle of Tagliacozzo on 23 August 1268 by Charles of Anjou. The two of them were held as prisoners by Charles until 29 October 1268, when they were both publicly beheaded at Castel Dell'Ovo in Naples.
